Maryland safety Nick Cross was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the NFL Draft Friday, going 96th overall.
Cross starred in three seasons at Maryland, earning All-Big Ten Honorable Mention accolades in each campaign.
Hailing from Bowie, Maryland, and DeMatha Catholic High School, Cross was a local high school prospect. A consensus four-star who ranked as the No. 55 player and the fourth-best safety in his class per the 247Sports Composite, Cross announced his decision to commit to Maryland over Florida State and others on Feb. 12, 2019.
Cross made an impact right away, appearing in all 12 games as a freshman and leading the Terps with two interceptions and five pass breakups.
